MEDFORD, Ore. — An organization known for helping people get into affordable homes is now celebrating a new building for themselves!

On Thursday, Habitat for Humanity invited the community to an open house for their new affiliate offices, located on South Pacific Highway.

The property, including the administration building, was purchased last summer; Habitat was previously renting the property.

“We were about 3 or 4 to an office there we were using space that really could be used for restore retail space and it was just a little better to have our own identity,” said Denise James, the Executive Director for Habitat for Humanity.

The space will be used for staff and meetings. Volunteers and staff were putting the finishing touches to the front lobby on Thursday.
